Section F: Comprehension MCQ (5 marks)
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
Once there was an old lady. One day she fell ill and became blind. She
spent a lot of money on medicine but she could not get cured.
At last there came a doctor called Baddan who said he would cure her
if she gave him ten thousand dollars. She said she would give him the money
when she was cured.
So the doctor came every day to treat her.
But the doctor was also a thief. Every day, he took away something or
other belonging to the old lady. First the boxes, then the chairs, then even
the tables. But he gave the lady good medicine and eventually she was cured.
"Now," said the doctor, "give me my money."
"I won't" said the lady.
So the doctor took her to court.
The lady told the judge: "I told the doctor I would pay him when I
could see well. But I cannot see well. Before I was blind I could see tables
and chairs and boxes in my house. Now I can see only bare walls. So I am not
completely cured."
The judge understood and smiled.
"Dr Baddan," he said, "unless you can make the lady see all her
furniture and possessions, she shall not pay you."
That night the doctor went and quietly put back all the things he had
taken from the lady's house.
